Canadian National Railway has agreed to support the proposed merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern. Under the settlement, CN secured enhanced access to U.S. Midwest markets and improved connectivity to Mexico. The agreement addresses concerns that the combination would limit competitive rail options for shippers in North America.
